PRUNING NOW IN FULL SEASON Weather Has Made It Impos sible to Work in the Field The pruning season is on. It has been on all winter, but the weather and other conditions have been such that it was practically impossible to work in the orchard. Prof. J. G. Sanders, Zoologist of the State Department of Agriculture, says: "When working in the apple trees remember that old adage, 'Winter pruing makes wood and summer pruning makes fruit.' A heavily pruned apple tree will make a big growth the following season. If it is a young tree just coming into bearing, there is danger of do laying of fruit productions. If it is an old tree and the cutting is heavy there will be a strong growth of water sprouts. Delay heavy pruning until next June or July. "In pruning an apple tree remem ber that an open headed tree is not a vase-shaped tree. It is a tree in which the branches are well spacod all over the tree and far enough apart so that when the foilage ia on there will be a good cir culation of air through the tree, and that all parts of the tree will be reached by the sun sometime dur ing the day. "Have no crooked limbs in the tree, because limbs with sharp bends or angles cannot carry nearly as heavy a load as can those that are straight. Crooked limbs will split and break under heavy loads. "When removing limbs, if they be large, make the first cut in the under side of the limbs, a foot or more from where the final cut will be und wlien it is 110 lonser possible to cut from the under side, start cutting on the upper side, just a little farther out. Much injury to trees is saved by this method. Afterwards the •Hump can bo removed making a cut close up to the trunk. Do not leave a shoulder, because if the wound is not close to the trunk, sap will not be drawn to all edges of the wound, which will make it slow to heal, per mitting rot to set in and permanent ly injuring the tree. "Paint all wounds, as soon as they have dried sufficiently to take paint, with pure raw linseed oil and white lead paint. Driers, japan, turpentine and boiled oil are injurious to the cambium layer, killing it and thus making the wound larger and long er in healing. "Cherry trees/ieed hut little prun ing as a rule, except to take out in terlocking branches. Sometimes from lack of attention for a number of years, some cherry trees become very dense In such cases, the thin ning' out of the wood is absolutely necessary. "Plum trees should be carefully examined and if the heads are too thick, remove just enough wood to insure a good circulation of air through them, when the foiage is on. If'there is not a free current of air' through a plum tree, there is greater iDiAPiMH mm FOR INDIGESTION J f> jj|j| R o gi g tr red try U. S. Pat.

PLAN PERMANENT ORGANIZATION [Continued from First Page.] or drive, will be organized first in 1 the city, and later will be perfected throughout the county. The resources of such a committee, to consist, ac- I cording to tha original plans, of 1,000 men and half as many wo men in the city, can be seen at a glance. With the Red Cross drive coming in the early summer, and | the other Liberty Loan drives that I must inevitably follow, will make Hnrrisburg stride ahead of other [ cities its size when it is called upon to raise a quota. As a forerunner of what is to fol low In the way of a permanent com mittee, the standing planning com mittee of three men, consisting of Paul Johnston, George S. Reinoehl and David Kaufman, which main tains its personnel permanently to advance plans for any drive or war activity that takes place in the city, Is an example of what such a per manent war organization of civilians could do. This permanent planning committee is called upon at the first intimation of a war drive in the city, either for membership to war organi zations, or funds for war purposes, to outline comprehensive plans to conduct stich an activity. Movement Has Support This committee, at the first word that the Third Liberty Loan drive was to be under way April 6. was called upon to aid in outlining the best methods to take care of the city and secure the greatest possible amount of subscriptions for the Third Liberty Loan quota. The idea of a permanent war or-1 ganization was originally voiced by I ex-Mayor J. William Bowman, und William Jennings at a subsequent meeting of representative businase j and professional men, at which Mayor Keister was also present, was made the chairman of a permanent committee to perfect plans for the vast organization of civilian work ers. The Red Cross drive imme-j diately following, to which Mr. Jen- j nings had to devote his time, halted! ♦he proceeding toward a permanent j committee, and Mr. Jennings is! hopeful that the permanent civilian I organization may arise from the' machinery of the Liberty drive! here.

The Philadelphia conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, to-day placed on record its unanimous support of the national prohibition amendment. The resolution, adopted amid great enthusiasm, followed a de nunciation ot" liquor by Bishop Jo seph P. Berry, resident bishop of Philadelphia, at the opening of the 131 st session of the conference. The bishop declared it is more, re ligious to vote than pray against rum on election day, adding that the time has come for the church to throttle this lawless, black handed enemy. The sessions, embracing the con ference membership in -the territory from the Delaware to the Susque hanna rivers and from the Delaware county line to the coal regions, are being held in Simpson Memorial Church. About 400 ministers are in attendance. A feature .of the conference, which will continue for about a week, will be the dedication of the conference service Hag, containing 4,322 stars, at a big patriotic rally to-morrow night. Thip is believed to be the largest service flag In the 1 country, each star representing a Methodist clergyman or a member of his congregation in the service of Uncle Sam. Governor Brumbaugh will be among the speakers, England's Brewing Equal to 512,000 Tons Shipping London, Tuesday,- March 12. Criticism of the continued use of grain for brewing and malting was made in the Mouse of Commons to day by the Right Honorable Leif child Jones and others. John R. Clynes, parliamentary secretary of the food control board, in reply said that having regard, among other considerations, for the food situa tion and opinion in America, the government, while maintaining a supply .of beer for heavy manual workers, intended to reduce Immedi ately the tonnage to be used for brewing material. The brewing materials for 1915'19, 'l9, Mr. Clynes added, would be equivalent to 512,000 tons of ship ping, compared to 1,500,000 tons early In the war.

In addition to the bomb victims, sixty-six persons were suffocated | through crowding in a panic into a | Metropolitan railway entrance to I take refuge from the raiders. These j were for the most part'women and children. •* Of the bomD victims, twenty-nine were killed and fifty injured in Paris and five killed and twenty nine injured in the suburb*. Nine squadrons, comprising about sixty airplanes, took part in the raid. The Germans lost four pianos, one of the raiders being brought down in 'flames three miles from Chateau-Thierry. A German captain who was on board and was taken prisoner with the crew belongs to the Third squadron of the German Sev enth army. Another plane was hit by anti-aircraft guns and fell north of Soissons, three passengers, two of them officers, being captured. The fog which had covered the city Monday morning settled down again In the early evening. It was thick enough to cause the general belief that there was little chance that the Germans would attempt an air raid. The official statement on the raid says that warning was given at 9.10 o'clock, and that "all clear" was scunded at midnight. While sixty airplanes crossed the French lines, thanks to the artillery barrage, a certain number of machines were un able to reach their objective. Nev ertheless. the statement adds, numer ous bombs were thrown on Paris and the suburbs. Several buildings were demolished or set on fire. Baker Takes Ref age in Wine Cellar to Escape German Bombs Paris, March 13.—Secretary Baker was in conference with General Tasker H. Bliss, the American chlfef of staff, in a hotel suite when the air alarm was sounded.

U*e McNeil's Pain Exterminator—Ad. | years after the war. And vet after | the war, there was room for enor mous expansion of the wheat grow ing areas in the development of the Mississippi valley, which expansion is not now possible as It was then, although the consuming population in all parts of the world is many times greater. The only place where a large production plan can be put through is in the Canadian West, with ita millions of acres of new land. Saskatchewan is the greatest wheat producing region on the conti nent, with a wheat crop for ten years seventy-one and three-tenths per cent greater per acre than the whole United States. In 1916. Saskatchewan's wheat crop averages 28.5 bushels per acre, against 17 bushels per aero for tho United States." Council to Act on New Water Rates Next Week No action will likely be taken on the report of J. W. Ledoux, of Phil adelphia, who submitted a new sys tem of charging water rates in the city, until next Tuesday when Coun cil meets in regular session it was said to-day. The new schedules as prepared would increase the city's revenue from the department about $25,000. The rates are based entirely on a re turn of 4 per cent, on the invest ment in the watec supply works, and a 1 per cent, depreciation charge. A number of conferences will be held during the next few days by members of Council to make a thor ough study of the report and the recommendation for improvements. One of these it is understood, in cludes the suggestion that another electrical pump should bepurchas ed. Other suggestions includes ed. Other suggestions include give better service and release a large main for (Ire service. Under tho first schedule Mr. IXMI oux submits the manufacturers will be affected the most by the increas ed rates. This one is recommended as the most rational for the city to adopt. The other two are modifica tions in which the v rates to house hold consumers are increased on a larger percentage than in the' first one."

REGISTRATION OF FLOUR TO CLOSE AT WEEK'S END Result of Tabulation Shows Little Indication of Hoard ing Charges The Dauphin County Food Ad ministration will continue tho rcgis tratlon of flour the remainder of the week. By that time it ia hoped to have tho registration of flour in city and county complete. The cards will continue to appear in the Telegraph, and householders who have not yet sent in their re ports, are requested'by the adminis trator to do so without ( delay. Only about 18,000 reports out of an esti mated 33,000 havo returned from Dauphin county householders. Between two and three thousand reports were sent to the food ad ministration office this morning. Yes terday was the biggest day, 3,700 cards being returned and tabulated before the offices were closed. The total registration showed an excess flour supply of more than 60 tons held in stock bv Dauphin county householders. The average, though is only about 40 pounds of flour to the excess holding house holder. There are to date 3.050 fam ilies holding excess flour amounting to 119,825 pounds. Xot Hoarding While the amount of excess flour in the county is large, it is hardly likely that condition will be consid ered such as to warrant any divert ing of the flour from its present owners to less fortunate house holders. Of the 18,000 householders reporting their flour supply, there has not yet been a single Instance where a householder has complained that he finds difficulty procuring enough flour to supply his normal needs. For this reason, and because the excess held is not a sign of hoarding, but the natural result in most cases of the householders stocking up for ttie year, it is not likely that string ent steps will follow the report' of large amounts of excess. About 500 pounds over a 30 days supply was the largest excess reported, but this was milled from the farmer's grain last fall, according to his yearly custom. All the larger excess sup plies are held in the same way. Marriage Not His Dish, So He Goes to War Cleveland. Ohio.—Four months of married life ended for William T.
